They were modeled after the divas, they gave grandeur

But then here comes Mya, and sexes things up in a new lane.

Bam!

All of the sudden, every girl that come out after is mixed with sex kitten
And mixing the music with the sexiness... All Mya's influence

Bey - Baby Boy, Naughty Girl ......  Mya type tracks (most of Bey's stuff is actually)
Rih - Rude Boy, Umbrella
Ci - Oh, Ride
Nicki - SuperBass
Keysh gave some sex
Kelly - Motivation, Lay it On Me .... all Mya type tracks
And lots of others

I'm sitting here thinking like... damn this bitch was influential. She could've been HUGE if she just kept going.

If you?ve been listening to R&B from new stars Tinashe, FKA twigs, and Jhen? Aiko, you might have heard the echo of a familiar kind of sound: the sultry, futuristic music of that small surge of R&B pop from around the turn of the century?girl groups like Blaque, 3LW, and 702, and the singer M?a. Though they have now mostly faded from the front row of pop culture, these artists are proof of a kind of inevitability of influence, with their sounds now palpable in the music of a whole new generation of musicians who grew up on their hits.

I see similarities in Tinashe of Mya but that's it

As far as everything else she was never looking to be compare.

She said fans/stans were the one who always created mess and for her it was never about competition but proving herself a worthy assest to her label

She also said that when she first came out she came out at a time when Mary J. Blige set the tone in hip/hop and R&B and every R&B female artist follow suit and although she was last to come she was grouped with Aaliyah Brandy and Monica.

Mya should do R&B divas or something.

Yeah I read this before and I agree with it
